Barcelona have been touted with many potential targets for one position where they look to make reinforcements. The left-wing position has been long wanted for Barcelona with their number one target blindsiding the club before signing a new deal.
After missing out on primary targets like Nico Williams and facing difficulties in their bid for Luis Díaz, the Catalan club has reportedly made Rashford their top priority, with Sky Germany indicating they are "prepared to go all-in."
Marcus Rashford has been consistently linked with a move to Barcelona for over a year, with his role at Manchester United seemingly diminished under new management. Reports suggest he is not in manager Ruben Amorim's plans and has even been training away from the first team.
German champions Bayern Munich have reportedly expressed significant interest in Marcus Rashford. With their own ambitions for strengthening their attacking options, particularly on the flanks, Rashford's pace, versatility, and goal-scoring ability make him an attractive prospect for the Bavarian giants, especially since Jamal Musiala’s injury and Leroy Sane and Kingsley Coman’s exit. Bayern's financial muscle and English presence in the squad could pose a serious threat to Barcelona, particularly given the latter's ongoing financial constraints. While Barcelona remains Rashford's preferred destination, a compelling offer from a club like Bayern cannot be easily dismissed.
While Rashford is not the number one choice for the Bundelsiga and La Liga Champions, recent reports indicate he is a number choice for a club in northern Italy.
Juventus are also said to be monitoring Rashford's situation closely. The Italian club is looking to rejuvenate their squad and add more firepower to their attack. Rashford's profile aligns with the type of dynamic forward Juventus are aiming to bring in. Their pursuit of other Manchester United players, such as Jadon Sancho, suggests a willingness to do business with the Red Devils, and a move to Turin could offer Rashford a prominent role in a major European league, albeit one without Champions League football for the upcoming season.
Despite the strong competition, all indications suggest that Marcus Rashford is holding out for a move to Barcelona. Sources close to the player have repeatedly stated his preference for a switch to Catalonia, and he has even reportedly shown willingness to take a pay cut to make his "dream move" a reality.
With pre-season fast approaching and Rashford left out of United’s early plans, the coming weeks could be pivotal in deciding where the forward will play next season. Whether it’s Barcelona, Bayern, Juventus, or a surprise entrant, one thing is clear: Marcus Rashford's time at Manchester United may be nearing its end.
